Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
Sometimes the customer is right! These recent customers had functional kitchen lighting, but its aesthetic characteristics were lacking: Color temperatures were different, switch locations were odd, and the distribution of light was not optimal for working at the counters or filling the room. They requested recessed lighting and needed a pendant light mounted that they’d matched to the breakfast nook. From there, we just did what we were told!
